OMG SHE’S HUGGING A BALL Just With More Pesky Feelingsīut on to the unusual stuff-feelings. I think this kind of strategizing is actually more appealing to most gamer fans than the Sword Art Online hack-and-slash style so kudos to Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari for taking this route. As such, Naofumi has an exponentially more difficult hero path than the other three offensive heroes, and he’s forced to rely a lot on ingenuity to level up and get ahead. Naofumi, though, will always have the handicap of being the “Shield Hero” so he’s never going to be an offensive juggernaut like Kurosaki Ichigo or Uzumaki Naruto (the Shield Hero is restricted from using weapons and his attack points is basically zero).
Main character Naofumi is cast as a growth anti-hero, meaning that he starts off super weak (and looked down upon by everyone) but experiences the shounen manga superstar type of astronomical growth. This light novel definitely delivers the crowd-pleasing elements, and it does so well. Traditional fans of VMMORPG, don’t panic. Well, Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari is definitely not happy-go-lucky, and characters are certainly far from one dimensional. Even Log Horizon, which takes a more “slice of life” approach to the genre and explores the psychological difficulties of suddenly living a video game, has mostly one dimensional characterization in a mostly happy-go-lucky atmosphere. Having read many tales in this emerging genre, I am definitely not over-generalizing when I say that most virtual MMORPG stories are lacking in “dramatic complexity.” And that’s perfectly fine because audiences are buying into these stories for the vicarious experience of living a video game, becoming heroes / villains, and conquering the world. And that is, the light novel incorporates a very real emotional element in its storytelling. Hands down, Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari takes one of the most unique approaches to the virtual video game genre I’ve ever read / seen. Scorned by everyone for his uselessness, Naofumi’s destiny in a parallel world begins… Naofumi coincidentally received the Legendary Shield as his weapon, the only defensive weapon of the lot.
Each of the heroes were respectively equipped with their own legendary equipment when summoned. Iwatani Naofumi was summoned into a parallel world along with three other people to become the world’s heroes and save the kingdom from the Calamity.
